We believe that our work improves the most when we iterate using feedback from the community. This process is also important for map makers, which is why we have been working on a new tool to help authors present their work early and iterate often – a map workshop, where maps can be evaluated, discussed, and rated by the community. Server operators will be able to subscribe to (and automatically update) these maps, ensuring that they have the author’s most recent version throughout a map’s development.

The map workshop is the perfect place for pros and other players to develop maps with their communities. While we continue to develop the workshop, click here for a preview of a competitive revision of de_nuke by Sal ‘Volcano’ Garozzo.
